How to use your phone’s WiFi connection for several devices

You have probably found yourself in a situation where you need to connect multiple devices to a Wi-Fi connection, but only your Smartphone has access to Wi-Fi or is in range. Did you know that you can share your phone’s Wi-Fi connection with other devices using Bluetooth? Well, now you know.

Unlike using your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot, where you share your mobile data with other devices, using Bluetooth tethering allows you to share the Wi-Fi already connected to your phone with several devices. Below are simple steps on how you can use your phone’s Wi-Fi connection for several devices.

Step 1: Connect your Phone to a Working Wi-Fi Network

Since you are sharing your phone’s Wi-Fi connection, ensure that your phone is connected to a working Wi-Fi network.

To connect your phone to Wi-Fi:

Open Settings on your phone by tapping the settings icon

On the menu that appears, tap Network & internet or Wireless & Network in some phones

TapWi-Fi on the page that appears

A list of available Wi-Fi networks will be displayed. Select the Wi-Fi network that you wish to connect to.
